Roll Morton born before R & R, who are in the hall as major influences)

Hancock will probably be inducted too at a later date. BTW, he was in charge
of the music portion of Miles' induction the other day fronting a group that
played Davis compositions. If US residents search the TV channels, we may be
able to find the presentations. Took place in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
Ballroom, with attendees and honorees in tuxes.

Cheers,
